NEED HELP!!!! I think hughes engines sent me 1.5 rockers instead of 1.6 ratio...ughhh
Well I tried out Guitar Jones' MP 1.6 rocker and my lift improved to .515 After examining things a bit more I shortened the adj pushrod tool as small as it would go and worked from there. My best lift after trying different shim stacks was .520 with the Hughes 1.6 rocker without any shims. So that makes a .024 loss due to crappy pushrod/lifter angle. So that is a 4.41% loss compared to 6.25% before rechecking. The valve stem wipe pattern and geometry at 60% max lift .312 was near perfect.
I'm going to get my pushrods cut and button this sucker up. I'll have to live with the 4.41% lift loss. Doubt I'll ever feel the difference in seat of the pants driving.
